LOL!  Thanks for lightening things up for us.  Oops!  I mean me :-)

Just in general, no "I'm going to give everyone a piece of my mind" OP on any forum anywhere is well-received. It just isn't. Even if others agree fully or partly, there will be a large number of "WT_?" posts, as well as snarky ones.

 

What seems very important to one individual is not important to others - and the others will say so ;-)

The author is not in charge of the monitoring of these boards. QVC has people in charge to remove posts or threads that are considered unkind, offensive and so on. 

 

I have not seen a thread removed or locked for the complaint the author has charged.

Dear Pearley--

 

You are not the boss of me. If you ever happen to read one of my posts and I use "we," please feel free to exclude yourself.

 

Thank you.

Folks here take offense way too easily, IMO. I think a lot of posters here have not had to work out in the public or they would be thicker skinned.

While the work thing may be an issue, some just looked to be offended and over analyze every word here to death. They do it with the hosts too.

It's very odd.

I try my best to never speak in generalities. Like many I prefer specificity when someone is stating their opinion, and also say their opinon is not always a factual statement.

I've read through this whole thread, and I still don't know what the point was.
